Sudden Appearance of Lump on Wrist

Back in February I noticed a weird, strange lump appear literally overnight on my wrist. I wasn’t sure at first what it was. I got a bit of a shock when I first saw it. It was quite big. Here’s a picture of my hand showing the lump.

...

It is called a ganglion. I’d never even heard of it. It looks exactly like the picture in the link below, of what I found on the web -

I wasn’t overly concerned about the lump but it did surprise me how it seemed to just appear, literally overnight. I woke up one morning and there it was! I remember thinking to myself, that wasn’t there yesterday! Was it? What the heck is it?

Once I realised what it was I did a little more reading on ganglions as I wasn’t sure exactly why it had appeared or what had caused it. I also wondered whether it would need to be drained or surgically removed? The thought of a needle being inserted there, that would surely hurt! I didn’t like the sound of that at all. Surgical intervention was not what I wanted.

I’d also read of a rather strange, old-fashioned method of getting rid of a ganglion cyst - to bash it with a bible! (Hence the name ‘bible bump’.) Of course, anyone who has a ganglion cyst, I am not advocating this at all! I certainly wasn’t brave enough to hit mine with a bible, that’s for sure. I just thought it best to leave well alone.

Over the last couple of weeks I have noticed it has started to go down in size, it’s definitely much smaller and it isn’t protruding out so much. Here’s the latest picture of it - you can just see it beneath the skin. What a difference in size.

On further research I read that possible causes could be an injury, overuse of a joint or build up of toxins which crystalise and form a cyst.

I relayed this to the person who has made up my protocol. If the ganglion is perhaps caused by toxins, perhaps I wasn’t getting the toxins out quick enough? I’m not sure.

But I’m happy to say that my ganglion is reducing in size. I can only hope in time that it will finally disappear.

Unfortunately RHRPlus who carried out my tests no longer do lab testing. The test results I received are what you see in my blog ie. urine, sputum and stool. I'm unsure if you can contact a lab directly and submit samples yourself. Have you tried searching or contacting one? I'm unsure if you will have to go through a Practitioner who can order some tests for you.

I've had the same cyst for years. I happened to show it to a chiropractor; he manipulated my hand and wrist and the cyst disappeared. That was more than ten years ago. Fortunately, that worked for me and I didn't have to opt for surgery. You never know what's going to work.
